Jed Davis

Waitsfield, Vermont

Jed has been involved in dairy agriculture and cooperatives his whole life. Raised on a seven-generation family dairy farm in Central Massachusetts, he moved to the Green Mountain State in 1991 and has since held a number of positions for Cabot Creamery Co-operative in Vermont. In 2008, Jed accepted a newly-created full-time position to establish a framework for sustainability performance at the historic dairy co-op. Today, Cabot draws inspiration from its Sustainability Credo of “Living within our means and ensuring the means to live” from cow-to-creamery-to-customer. Cabot is proud to be certified as a B Corporation.

Jed’s experience as a Fellow provides valuable perspective on approaches to both vision and successful communication with internal Cabot audiences and with external stakeholder engagement, as well as the opportunity to apply systems dynamics and whole systems thinking to specific sustainability efforts.
